Fantasy football bold predictions for each NFC team in the 2020 season.
With the 2020 NFL season approaching, so too are fantasy football drafts. With all of the information and preparation material available these days, there is often a consensus that’s reached before a league drafts. Yet, going along with the consensus may not always be the best strategy.
If you can look past all of the noise and the groupthink and identify both value and a lack of value, your fantasy football draft can make you into a league-winner. And as we already looked at with the AFC teams for the 2020 season, there are these opportunities with every team.
Subsequently, we turn our attention to the other conference, the NFC. Let’s dive into one bold fantasy football prediction for every NFC team in the 2020 season.

NFC East Fantasy Football Bold Predictions
Washington Football Team: Terry McLaurin will finish as a top 15 WR
Terry McLaurin managed to produce an admirable rookie season despite having the Case Keenum-Dwayne Haskins combo under center. Now that Haskins has had a full offseason to prepare, he will enter 2020 looking to erase his debut from the public minds.
McLaurin is the clearcut WR1 for his team with his competition being the likes of Cody Latimer and Dontrelle Inman, making him a steal at his ADP of WR23.
Dallas Cowboys offensive players will all outperform their ADP
There has been so much offseason hype for the Cowboy’s offense that their 2019 performance has been overshadowed. In 2019, Dak Prescott finished as the QB2, Ezekiel finished as the RB3, and Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup finished as the WR10 and WR22, respectively. All of their 2020 ADPs are at or below their 2019 finishes, making them all solid picks.
New York Giants: Evan Engram will not be a TE1 in 2020
Evan Engram has yet to play a full season in the NFL, though he has been productive when healthy. However, there are too many mouths to feed with Daniel Jones as the signal-caller. With the offense likely to run through Saquon Barkley and Engram having an injury-riddled history, his ADP of TE7 can’t be justified.
Philadelphia Eagles: Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert will both finish as TE1s
The Eagles tight end duo actually achieved this feat in 2019 with Ertz finishing as the TE4 and Goedert the TE10. Ertz and Goedert represent two receiving talents on a team that has no proven or consistently healthy wide receivers. Both should be a lock for 80+ quality targets, though Goedert represents the much better value at an ADP of TE21.
